This is my opinion of Kinetic.

Firstly, it looks cool. How can you not be exicted.

Secondly, I want to dispell these notions that it is no good because it won't have hard core games, thats what your 360 controller is for.

Thirdly, if you are not interested in it, than so be it.

Fourthly, it looks like alot of fun.

Fifthly, is nothing like an eyetoy, with the exeption of a camera. Heck even the 360 had a camera based game-Totemball.

Sixthly, it's going to make those Wii like party games and experience way more interactive.

Seventhly, alot of the games we are seeing now are standard launch titles we see for every new technological advance. And they look pretty good at this point in development.

Eighthly, alot of you guys are hating just to hate and thats just wrong.

Ninthly, that so called Kinetic crashing video was not a crash but some one disconnecting the Kinect, pressing the power button or pausing and trying to end the game. Also it could have been all those camera flashes going off too.

Tenthly, and most importantly Kinetic is not for you hardcore gamers. Its for gamers that want to experience something different. And not trying to be all things to everybody like Sony, I don't want to play KZ3 with the Move, the DS3 works just fine.

If someone buys it for me(and a 360 come to think of it)sure but with my money? As of now though even if I had a 360? It will be a frosty day in hell before that happens.

Yeah, it's quite ridiculous. And considering I don't own a 360, no (even if I did I wouldn't want it.) Mind you, I also have zero interest in Move. Also, I think we need a sticky for Kinect / Move, the amount of threads is just silly.

Eyetoy , racing wheels , lightgun , microphone , guitar , plastic buzzers (and that was just some of what the ps2 had). It's nothing new.

No thanks. I'd rather convince my best friend to burn 150$ since he owns a 360 but it's not working.:cry:

I will be getting a new arcade this holiday but only for a couple of the exclusives I want and because the system is cheap... That is if I get the money needed... I see no point (besides Dance Central) to shell out an extra 150 bux + 50 bux for the Kinect.

Sure if it were 80$ at least, I would've considered it but c'mon man.. This is the sort of thing I'd rather piggy back off of others to have fun with.

Well, there are games for Kinect that I think could be done on the Eye toy or PS Eye, though they may be a little downgraded. Take Ricochet for example -- it only tracks you moving sideways and back and forth. I don't think you'd need such a complex camera for such a simple game.

Well, it would really be $150 extra if you bought the Arcade/Kinect bundle. Still pricey, especially if I compare it to my Arcade 360 that I got for a lower price than Kinect :P.

I will probably get both just to try them out, and so i can get the party games for both. Kinect just looks so fun, and Move will be my Wii replacement since i sold it some time ago. And the PS3 is HD so thats a plus :P

I don't have a 360, but I usually help my friend who owns one to buy great games for his system (that way I can play those too!). And no way in bloody hell will I advise him to buy Kinect (as for now though)

Oh I didn't say I was going to buy a 360 arcade at $150.:P

Kinect (to me) SEEMS like it's mainly a party toy. Kinda like twister & Rock Band 2. I know Dance Central would be awesome during parties but that purchase just doesn't seem justified to me since it's not like that's all we are gonna do if I have a party.:P

Also why bother buying it when you can trick a friend into buying it and you enjoying it for free?:P ... Too bad that's not working so far..:cry:

No way, i think myself as well as other people will look ridiculous standing in front of there TV's waving there arms and legs around, or pretending to hold a steering wheel or a gun. I just think people want the tangible controller in there hands, motion control is fine, but with a controller to hold on to, and what about the fact that Microsoft out right admitted that Kinect will not function properly while a person is seated, there are alot of people out there that look forward to coming home after a hard days work and sitting in there plush sofa or recliner opposite there big screen TV and playing some video games in comfort. At least the Wii - remote works great seated or standing, and if people want they can do the Wii - Fit thing to get off the couch, but at least it's a choice. If i ever buy Kinect, which i doubt, it would have to come bundled with the new 360 and be a really great price, but even then i don't think i'd use it...so it's a big NO for me getting Kinect.

im getting Kinect day 1 but cant judge this poll because the people at SW are afraid of Kinect and think its going to overtake hardcore gaming or that it is something that is mandatory to have in addition with your 360. Fear Mongering at its all time highest.

The Kinect was created with social aspects in mind. I apologize if this offends any one but in my analysis, just an analysis not a description but an analysis of forums in general, most posters are not social individuals especially when they post in forums every day and have high Game Spot user levels. Now with this loner gamer forum poster analysis characteristics, it does not take a genius to realize there will be conflicts with some thing created to be sociable and is meant to be played with friends and family. There are countless videos where it shows friends in malls, families in living rooms, drunk sorority sisters, female oil wrestlers, brothers from other mothers, close relationship cousins, and the social list continues that shows them having endless joyful bliss of fun playing with the Kinect. The Kinect is designed for family and friends and those who are social gamers. So the hatred for the Kinect is very understandable especially in an environment where being a single person is the way of life. From NBC to CNN to MTV to every other world media outlets all over the world, the Kinect is showcased as if it was aligned up with the stars, the moons, and planet perfectly in living rooms all over the hemispheres of Earth. It is time for fun, it is time for entertainment, it is time for a revolution, it is time for the Kinect. And to answer the question, I will be the very first in line camped outside the store a week early, so I will be the first to get the Kinect in my neck of the woods first, oh yes. The Kinect is the best motion control this gaming generation in my personal educated reality of opinions. Jump in and Kinect.

Yep, because crappy party games are the only way to socialize. I'm not looking forward to my second year of college where there will be no parties and only party games :(

I'm pretty sure they don't. I do that all the time and have never gotten modded for it. I know you can get modded for posts with only smileys or if you quote another person and say "This" or "Agreed."

[QUOTE="reanimatedchamp"]The Kinect was created with social aspects in mind. I apologize if this offends any one but in my analysis, just an analysis not a description but an analysis of forums in general, most posters are not social individuals especially when they post in forums every day and have high Game Spot user levels. Now with this loner gamer forum poster analysis characteristics, it does not take a genius to realize there will be conflicts with some thing created to be sociable and is meant to be played with friends and family. There are countless videos where it shows friends in malls, families in living rooms, drunk sorority sisters, female oil wrestlers, brothers from other mothers, close relationship cousins, and the social list continues that shows them having endless joyful bliss of fun playing with the Kinect. The Kinect is designed for family and friends and those who are social gamers. So the hatred for the Kinect is very understandable especially in an environment where being a single person is the way of life. From NBC to CNN to MTV to every other world media outlets all over the world, the Kinect is showcased as if it was aligned up with the stars, the moons, and planet perfectly in living rooms all over the hemispheres of Earth. It is time for fun, it is time for entertainment, it is time for a revolution, it is time for the Kinect. And to answer the question, I will be the very first in line camped outside the store a week early, so I will be the first to get the Kinect in my neck of the woods first, oh yes. The Kinect is the best motion control this gaming generation in my personal educated reality of opinions. Jump in and Kinect.Ross_the_Boss6

Yep, because crappy party games are the only way to socialize. I'm not looking forward to my second year of college where there will be no parties and only party games :(

Would you disagree with his assumption that a lot of people in system wars have a wapred sense of reality caused by little to no social life?
